Hild

Hild was a West Saxon nun during the 9th century.

Biography
Hild was born in Winchester, Wessex to a Catholic Anglo-Saxon family, and she became a nun to be closer to God. She used to pray with Lady Mildrith of Liscumb, and she saw how she changed during her marriage to Ealdorman Uhtred of Bebbanburg. In 878, during Guthrum's Danish attack on Winchester, she was raped by Vikings, but she was rescued by Iseult of Cornwall, Uhtred of Bebbanburg, and Leofric, and she accompanied them when they fled to the forest and then to the Somerset marshes.
